In this course, students will experience the health benefits of yoga and develop their well-being and personal management skills – skills which will help them to balance school, work and other life priorities.

They will learn to identify the precursors of stress and learn how to release them more easily. The course will also include an introduction to the history of yoga, yogic philosophy, human anatomy and physiology.
